Making sure I gain vertical?

[Temporizer]

I'm doing Rippetoe's just on Push/Pull days. I play basketball 2 or 3 times a week, and I play pretty hard, I'm doing alot of maximal jumps throughout my playing time. Kelly Baggett's vertical jump bible said not to do plyos if you're getting them through your sport. I think on the 3 weeks I've been doing Rippetoe my vert has already slightly increased, but I'm looking to add about 8 more inches over a period of time, will doing Low Rep High Weight training like Rippetoe and 5x5 help me get this goal?

Thanks.

BTW, I'm 17, 6'2, 210 lbs.

Programs like that are great for strength and explosiveness. Playing 3 times a week might be pretty taxing though. I have a hard time playing once a week.
